udon noodles with eggs, broccoli, and dark sweet soy sauce

My children seemed to miraculously like eating broccoli over the past year. I don't really know how this happened but I figure it's best not to question it.

And the husband, he loves his stirfry. I remember when we were first married and the agreement was that he had to cook one dinner a week, he'd make stirfry all.the.time. I'm sure he had some masterplan to get out of cooking because he pretty much made the same stirfry every.single.week. Here I am, so excited for my one night per week off of cooking and then to end up eating the same thing every time. I tell you, I couldn't stand it anymore and I've been cooking dinners almost exclusively ever since then. Smart guy, my husband.

But, I'm not horribly crushed because I do like to cook but now when I want my one time per week off of cooking, we go out and he buys me dinner :) Smart gal, yup, that's right.
